comments received by the students at their Undergraduate Research Opportunities posterpresentation are very revealing. The experienced viewers who came through commended the aptstrategy of using the ideal area distribution as a way to estimate minimum wave drag, and thenarguing that aircraft designers would come very close to this in the eventual design. They alsocommended the students for their success in “proving” that there is indeed a new market forsupersonic airliners, and strongly encouraged them to go forward, since they (the viewersincluding some former pilots of supersonic aircraft) were eager to see the age of supersonicairliners come alive.

Specifically, it's clearthat person-centered strategies can help, but more research is needed to understand how theseefforts can be tailored to support women enrolled in HSIs, HBCUs, and TCUs. Therefore, ourstudy asks two overarching questions: ● Part A: What are effective strategies for recruiting and retaining MSI students in SWE programs? ● Part B: How do key stakeholders tailor and implement recruitment strategies to align with MSI students' unique experiences, and what challenges do they encounter?In line with the
